How To Take A Reading - Omron HEM-711AC Instruction Manual

HOW TO TAKE A READING

1. Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for
approximately one second.
b) When the monitor becomes ready to measure,
the Heart Symbol appears on the display.
2. Press the START button and remain still.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically
determines your ideal inflation level. Because this
monitor detects the pulse even during inflation, do not
move your arm and remain still until the entire
measurement completes.
3. Inflation stops automatically
and measurement is started.
As the cuff slowly deflates, decreasing
numbers appear on the display and the Heart Symbol
( ) flashes at every heartbeat. In rare circumstances,
a higher inflation may be necessary. In those cases, the
monitor reinflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg higher than
initial inflation and restarts the measurement.
4. When the measurement is complete,
the arm cuff completely deflates and
your blood pressure and pulse rate
are displayed.
NOTE: The monitor automatically stores blood pressure
and pulse rate into the memory.
5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn
the monitor off.
NOTE: If you forget to turn the monitor off, it will
automatically shut itself off after five minutes.
